Do we really need to provide an argument for -s option?

[c02y]

When I try to run tdrop -ma -w 100% -h 95% -y "$PANEL_HEIGHT" -s kitty, it fails and says:

Error: Program to run is required as a positional argument. For help use -h or --help or see the manpage.

So in the tdrop script, -s need an option for session_name, but what if I don't want a session name manually, normally I just use tmux, I got my own ~/.tmux.conf and set status-left as #S, the #S is the session-name, I never provide a session name manually, so by default, this value will be an increasing number start from 0.

So I suggest the argument for -s should be optional, if no argument provided, use the tmux default, it provided, use the provided one.

UPDATE:
Actually I personally don't need -s option, I start a script call t which is a wrapper for tmux in kitty.conf, so this is actually what I need.

But the original suggestion still needs to be done.

If you want to do this, you can just run whatever command you want to in the terminal instead of using -s (e.g. tdrop kitty tmux).

Yes, I got it now. After searching other people's usage in the whole github, I managed to make my needs work.

But I think it is better to provide something like a wiki page for some examples of regular programs.

There are a lot of class for those programs in tdrop shell script. I have to anaylyze the file carefully to know how to make those programs work. For example it took me a while to make emacsclient work with tdrop.

Wait... you mean tdrop kitty tmux, the line in my page got wrapped after the word kitty, I didn't notice the word tmux at the end.

I tried tdrop kitty tmux in terminal manually, it starts kitty with empty content, without even a shell prompt, and I cannot do typing in it.

Actually I managed to use tdrop + kitty using tdrop -ma -w 100% -h 90% kitty, and I use a shell script which is a wrapper of tmux as the shell command in kitty.conf, I usually use this shell script as the start command in other terminals such as xfce4-terminal or yakuake.
